March 1st Deadline, You're Already Too Late! | Feb. 24, 2026 | SBA Today
Tuesday, 24 February, 2026
This week on SBA Today, we are covering a massive regulatory shift for Green Card holders, a major SBLC merger, and new mandatory requirements for small loans that lenders cannot ignore. Paul and Tonya discuss: 🤝 SBLC MERGER ALERT: Harvest Small Business Finance, one of the 16 SBLCs, is merging with Crossroads Impact (a CDFI) . We'll be watching closely to see how this affects their lending footprint. 📋 NEW SMALL LOAN RULES: A new Procedures Notice is out with strict reminders for loans under $350,000 : 2 Months of Bank Statements: This is now a REQUIRED "must," not a "should" . Lenders are specifically looking for undisclosed debt versus the Debt Schedule . Repayment Ability: Credit history and a minimum 1.10x DSCR remain the standard for repayment ability. SBA Express: Note that there are no changes to current SBA Express rules. 🛂 THE LPR FINAL COUNTDOWN: If you haven't submitted your LPR applications, you are likely too late . With a 10-day turnaround and thousands in the queue, the March 1st window is closing . 🛠️ SERVICING AFTER MARCH 1ST: What happens to existing LPR loans? Standard actions like deferments are fine, but ownership changes or loan increases will trigger new citizenship requirements . 📈 MARKET PULSE: The Q3 2025 IBBA data shows 2026 is a year of disciplined dealmaking, with multiples hitting up to 4.1x for larger deals .
